Our butterfly girl is a special lady and what better way to celebrate a birthday with other than a blog hop. You have 16 stops to make before heading to Tejal's blog to wish her. A blog hop also means prizes and surprises, onerandom lucky commenter would get a Echo Park mini theme collection. What are you guys waiting for?! Hop along and join in the fun to wish Tejal a very happy birthday.

Here is a list of the participating people so in case you get lost along the way you know where to go....

Just like last time, the polaroid frame is hand drawn. The umbrella (Prairie Hill) is coloured with classic faber castell colour pencils. Paper is by K&Co, I just added an outline of glitter to the clouds. Sentiment is by TradeFish Designs. Added faux stitching to give the card an outline.

Hello everyone! Today I bring to you a brand new challenge at Lia Stampz! The theme this fortnight is HALLOWEEN.

Here is my card using “Branson Moon” by Lia Stampz.

These paper strips were lying around from the last card I made (the rainbow one), I love it when I can actually use up the scraps I have saved! The image is coloured with Faber Castell Classic colour pencils. I added faux stitching to give a little bit more interest to the scrap-y design.

It has been a long time since I played at CASE Study. This week the inspiration piece has so much variety, you can come up with anything; from CAS to over the top layers! Here is my take on it:

I took the layers element from Julia’s card but kept it CAS embellishment wise. It’s a pretty simple and popular design, we have seen so many versions of this. I will be entering this at Moxie Fab Birthday challenge.
